New York City, NY - Marcum LLP announced today that Meyers, Harrison & Pia, LLC and Meyers, Harrison & Pia Valuation and Litigation Support, LLC (MHP) have merged into the national accounting and advisory services firm, effective immediately. MHP brings to Marcum 55 partners and staff in New Haven, Connecticut, and Portland, Maine.

Founded in 1954 in New Haven, MHP is a full-service CPA firm providing accounting, audit, tax, and advisory services to a wide range of clients and industries.

MHP partners are authoritative speakers, authors and reviewers on valuation and economic damages topics, and serve frequently as court-appointed or jointly retained neutral witnesses in dispute resolution matters.

"Meyers, Harrison & Pia's deep expertise in valuation and litigation support and its broad offering in traditional tax, audit and accounting make the firm a perfect strategic fit for Marcum," said Jeffrey M. Weiner, Marcum's managing partner. "MHP CEO Mark Harrison and his partners have built a highly respected practice that is well recognized within the litigation support and valuation specialty. The entire MHP team will be an outstanding new asset to Marcum's clients as well as an additional resource to Marcum's partners and staff."

"Beyond its service capabilities and deep professional expertise, MHP also expands Marcum's geographic footprint in New England, supplementing our existing New Haven office and giving us a presence in Maine," said Anthony Scillia, partner-in-charge of Marcum's New England region. In addition to New Haven, Marcum's New England offices currently include Hartford and Greenwich, Connecticut; Boston, Massachusetts; and Providence, Rhode Island.
